Afghan Lawmakers Disqualify Ministers

KABUL—Afghanistan's parliament voted to oust the country's ministers of interior and defense on Saturday, in a fresh complication to the U.S.-led coalition's plans to pull out forces by 2014.

Whether Afghan President Hamid Karzai respects the no-confidence vote by parliament remains to be seen. Mr. Karzai has violated the constitution in the past, keeping ministers without parliament's consent for nearly two years.
